<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>YouTuber Jay Swanson's personal story of risking and losing everything on the road to starting a new life in Paris.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>For anyone who ever launched themselves towards their dreams only to be rebuffed...</p><p><em>The Sea of the Unknown lays before us, cold and callous. Behind us stand the comforts of home, the assurance of a path well-trodden. But some of us feel called to something else, something unseen, undefinable. Those hopes and nebulous dreams rest out over the horizon, beyond the chop and spray of the slate-gray sea that crashes at our feet. We know not how to reach those dreams; we know only that we must try.</em></p><p>From the moment I figured out how to operate a crayon, I started writing stories to fill a fantasy world of my own creation. I dreamed of sharing that world, of bringing it to life in the imagination of readers and movie-goers. And I dreamed of building my own life in Paris--the city that most nourished my creativity. But the real world always seemed to send its own monsters to resist, and throw me off my route.</p><p>This is the story of how I launched myself into the sea time and time again. How my early attempts at charting a course in the real world failed, my hopes of making a living as a creative in Paris floundering, cracking beneath me, and sinking below the waves. It's a story of perseverance. Of picking up the pieces, rebuilding my raft, and plotting another new course. There is no map in here for others to follow, but if I can make it this far out into the <em>Sea of the Unknown</em>, and live to tell the tale, then so can you.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Writers have been documenting the pull of Paris since time immemorial but often focus on the magic; the life that begins upon settling in. Swanson offers an honest and heartfelt chronicle of the journey to get there -- perhaps the most compelling part. This is a wonderful read for anyone that has wondered how individuals go from dreaming of Paris to transforming their lives to make it home.</p><p>Lindsey Tramuta</p><p>Author, "The New Paris" and "The New Parisienne: the Women & Ideas Shaping Paris"</p><p> </p><p>Ever dreamt of moving to Paris? Getting a one-way ticket to the city of picnics and pastries? Well it ain't an easy trip for any of us, and YouTube megastar Jay Swanson can attest to it. He shares the swashbuckling tale of his long and winding journey to the City of Lights - and how he managed to make it his home.</p><p>Oliver Gee</p><p>Host, The Earful Tower Podcast</p><br>
